[internship]: Fall internships with Environment America

Written by

I’m writing to share a cool fall opportunity with you and ask for your help spreading the word – Environment America is looking for current college students driven to protect the environment: we’d like to invite them to intern with us this fall. We’re hiring in 20 cities including Seattle.

Environment America interns will spend their fall semester making a big difference on critical environment issues and learning a ton, while getting the experience they need to launch a career in the environmental movement after graduation.

[fellowship] – Environment Washington Fellowship

Written by

Environment Washington is part of the Environment America federation, a federation of 29 state-based environmental groups.  Each year, Environment America hires passionate, talented and committed college graduates to join our two-year Fellowship Program. 

Students hired as fellows with Environment America:

·         Plan and run their own campaigns – for example, in Washington, I am working to protect Puget Sound marine wildlife by banning plastic bags.
 
·         Research and identify effective solutions to critical environmental problems.  Fellows build and mobilize the political power it takes to make those solutions a reality.
 
·         Lobby lawmakers; publish opinion pieces in major newspapers and on key websites; set up and speak at news conferences; organize town hall meetings and rallies; and run citizen outreach campaigns to educate the public, build membership and raise money for our work.  And fellows recruit interns, activists, and staff to work alongside you.
 
·         Bottom line: Fellows make a real difference.
 
·        Fellows get the training they need to make that difference.  Fellows attend classroom-style trainings throughout the year, and work alongside some of the nation’s top environmental advocates and organizers, and learn the most through hands-on experience. 

 

The fellowship is just the beginning.  After just two years of hard work, fellows have the skills and experience to take on even more leadership here at Environment America or elsewhere in the environmental community.
